TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that LCHARLEB HESS, of Lyons City, Clinton. county, State of Iowa, have invented a new ndusefu'l Improvement in Dairy-Churnsg and -I do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and'to the letters of reference marked thereon. I

y The nature ofAmy invention consists in so shaping the arms of the flashers, and adjusting them, as to eifectually pack the butter firmly together in one mass, also using, in connection ltherewith, friction-wheels, thus making a comparatively noiseless churn. I

' In order to convey a correct idea to others of my invention, I will carefully describe its construction and operation. I

In the drawings- Figure 1 is a front view, the side taken olf lto showl the inside of'the churn.

Figure 2 represents a top vievv, showing'thefriction-wheels.

Figure 3 represents an end view of arm of dasher.

Figure 4, section of arm on linea, iig. 1.

The same letters refer to same parts in all the figures.-

A represents the friction drive-wheel. i

B represents frame to hold the wheels.

C C represent friction-pulleys, onupright dashers,rto move arms.

D represents friction-pulley between A and C C. l

E represents crank.

F F F F, arms to agitate the cream.

G, body of churn.

H, cover of churn.

d, Vcrank-handle. l v

I construct the body of the churn of any suitable material, attaching to the topbr cover a frame, so adjusted as to hold the friction-pulleys in place, so as to get the requisite amount of power, yet so arranged as to be easily removed, thus giving control of all parts for any purpose.

The crnnlbpnlley A is made of any suitable material, withl its face'bcvelledto it'pulley D, which is alborizontal pulley, and faced with rubber, or any other material thatn'ill hold. This pulley I) is adjusted to fit and gives motion to-pulleys C C, to the shafts of n'hiclrare attached the arms F F-F F, which agitate the cream.

Now, the operation of this device is as follows: By turning the wheel A by crank, E, motion is 'given to' thc dashers, to which are attached the arms F F.F F, whichfrapidly passing through the cream, s oon change it 'to butter. Now, by giving the crank an oscillating motion, the butter is gathered, and firmly packed in one corner ofthe churn, the peculiarV form of the arm acting like a paddle or hand in beating out the milk, and

gathering the butter. y

In order to cleanse this churn, I have butto remove the top or cover, and the inside is open,'and clear for washing.

i -What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is y The combination and arrangement of the friction-pulleys A, D, C C, with the'peculia-r ogee'curved-shaped arms or paddles F F F F, vwhen constructed and arranged. for the purposes above set forth.
